John 18:36 Kjv

Setelah aku dan pacarku tinggal bersama, dia bilang ibunya kesepian sendirian. Jadi dia ingin ibunya ikut tinggal bersama kami. Meskipun calon ibu mertuaku sudah berusia di atas empat puluh tahun, penampilannya terawat sangat baik. Kulitnya putih dan mulus, tubuhnya seksi dengan lekukan indah. Pacarku yang masih sangat muda jelas tidak ada apa-apanya jika dibandingkan dengan ibunya. Pada hari pertama bertemu, dia berdandan sangat menggoda. Saat aku duduk dan dia memelukku, sepasang gundukan daging yang luar biasa besar hampir meremukkan wajahku hingga berubah bentuk. Seketika, darahku berdesir, aku ingin sekali .... Aku merasa bersalah atas pikiranku yang bejat ini. Namun, siapa sangka. Malam itu, ketika aku dan pacarku sedang larut dalam keintiman yang penuh gairah, aku melihat calon ibu mertuaku mengintip dari balik pintu sambil menikmati dirinya sendiri ....

Aku dibilang bocil atau bocah cilik saat berkenalan dengan seorang janda mempunyai anak tiga. Kecantikannya membuat aku jatuh hati, walaupun perbedaan usia yang relatif jauh, saat ini umurku 24 tahun dan dia telah 36 tahun. Berusaha membuktikan kepadanya bahwa aku bisa bersikap dewasa dan dipilih di antara banyaknya yang ingin memperistrinya. Walaupun orang tuaku tidak mengizinkan aku berpacaran dengan seorang janda beranak tiga. Namun hati ini tetap cinta dan yakin akan pilihanku. Bagaimana kisahnya nanti?

“Wendy, are you absolutely sure you want to sign this document?” The Elder’s voice rang in my ears—cold, distant. “Once your bond with Alpha John is dissolved, you’ll lose everything tied to the Blackthorn Pack.” I gripped the pen so hard my knuckles turned white. “Yes. I’m sure.” But just as the tip touched the paper— BANG! The door was kicked open with a violent crash. Alpha John stormed in, eyes bloodshot, and wrapped his hand around my throat. “You dare?!” Blood slipped from the corner of my lips… but I laughed. Because I knew—he would never discover the truth. That his dear uncle, Alpha Vincent, was hiding in my closet at this very moment. And the fresh bite mark on my lower belly… still burned from last night. As if fate was mocking me, my sweet little sister Penny sent a message right then: “Sis, wanna know a secret? That miscarriage you had? John planned it. He made it happen.” Then the TV flickered to life with a breaking live broadcast— There she was, Penny, gently stroking her swollen belly as she smiled into the camera. “John and I are expecting our baby next month,” she announced proudly to the entire Pack. And Alpha John—my “husband”—stood beside her, lovingly kissing her forehead. Like I never existed. Like I wasn’t the Luna written in law. “Miranda,” my wolf snarled in my head, “Rip those traitors apart—now!” But I didn’t. I wiped the blood from my mouth, and dialed the number I hadn’t called in five long years. “Vincent,” I said calmly, “Come get me.”

Sa mundo ng mga trillionaire, hindi sapat ang pera upang makuha ang lahat—ngunit para kay Fortuna Han, isang pastry chef na lumaki sa simpleng buhay, kaya niyang gawin ang lahat, kahit pa ito’y maging kasalanan, basta’t mapasakanya ang lalaking matagal na niyang minamahal. Si John Tan, isang brilliant, CEO ng isang IT company, cold-hearted computer engineer at tagapagmana ng pinakamalaking business empire sa bansa, ay may isang pangakong kailangang tuparin—ang mapangasawa si Senyora Abedida, ang tanging babaeng tinatangi niya simula high school. Ang mundo nila ay naaayon sa isa’t isa, at walang puwang para sa isang babaeng tulad ni Fortuna. Ngunit hindi iyon naging hadlang kay Fortuna. Sa isang mapanganib na laro ng pag-aakit, pagsisinungaling, at panlilinlang, ginawa niya ang lahat upang maagaw si John mula kay Senyora. At nang tuluyan niyang nakamit ang lalaking matagal na niyang inibig, isang hindi inaasahang rebelasyon ang bumulaga sa kanya—matagal na palang nakatakda ang kasal nila ni John dahil sa isang arranged marriage na pinlano ng kanilang mga pamilya noon pa man. Dahil sa galit at panlilinlang, si John ay napilitang pakasalan si Fortuna sa ilalim ng isang kontrata—dalawang taon lamang silang magiging mag-asawa, at pagkatapos noon, tuluyan na siyang mawawala sa buhay nito. Para kay John, ito ay isang laro ng kapangyarihan. Para kay Fortuna, ito ang katuparan ng kanyang pangarap. Ngunit paano kung sa gitna ng kasunduang ito, may isang gabi ng kapusukan ang tuluyang magtatali sa kanila magpakailanman? Paano kung ang babaeng itinuring niyang mang-aagaw ay siyang magbibigay sa kanya ng bagay na hindi niya kailanman inakala—isang anak? At paano kung sa paglipas ng panahon, ang malamig na poot at galit ni John ay unti-unting mapalitan ng isang damdaming pilit niyang nilalabanan? Si Senyora Abedida, na hindi kailanman papayag na maagaw si John nang ganoon lang.

At 7am on the dot my alarm rings on my nightstand. After a brief moment of irritation I sprung out of bed to get ready for school. While brushing my long curly ember hair my phone dings incessantly on the bathroom counter. After picking up the phone the dread I already felt in my heart was amplified. It was my best friend Jesse wishing me a happy birthday but I for the life of me couldn’t understand what an 18 year old girl had to be happy about. When a woman turns 18 she is mated for life, she’d be made to quit school, produce children and satisfy their mates every need and urge. That’s all a woman was good for in this town and I’d be damned if I was going to sit down and shut up about it. After ignoring Jesse I finished dressing and strolled down stairs where my mother and father were still having their morning meeting with their subordinates. Alfa John and Luna Kate or not, I’d doubt they’d even notice I was leaving if I hadn’t slammed the door on my way out. I wonder if they were disappointed by my lack of interest of the ways of the pack or if they were just disappointed I didn’t have a penis between my legs. Regardless, I have no intention on going to my mating ball tonight. My parents have invited every male in our pack but there’s no way I was going without a fight! As I lift my fingers from the door handle I come to an abrupt stop eye to eye with my fathers beta Josh. In a low growl all I hear is “You didn’t think you could actually leave did you?”
